Geocache Description:

"You Can't Roller Skate __ _ _______ ____" was a Top 40 hit for Oklahoma singer/songwriter Roger Miller in 1966. If you can complete the lyric, you've got a leg up on solving the theme of this Lawton cache series. All caches are micros or smaller. High muggle factor at most locations, so use extreme stealth.


I started this series with 12 caches placed for the enjoyment of the SouthWest Area Geocachers (SWAG) and the Texoma Geocaching Assn. (ToGA) when they gathered for a meeting in Lawton in the summer of 2011. Over time, the series has grown, thanks to the assistance of Oklee and TEACH1961. At this point, all but one of the original dozen still exist, as do nearly all of the additions.

At this stop, you're looking for a small micro hidden near the entrance to a Lawton shopping mall. When you arrive, you'll quickly understand the title. This is located along an extremely busy roadway, and the muggle factor on the property is extremely high when the mall is open, so be stealthy!

Trivia: Native Americans see the birth of a white buffalo as the most prophetic of signs, equivalent to Christianity's weeping statues, bleeding icons and crosses of light we often see in the news.  The birth of a white buffalo calf provides Native Americans with a sense of hope and indication good times are coming.  Obviously, the folks who own this establishment were thinking of a different kind of "good times."


Congrats to the webelozt crew on the FTF!!!!
